Takeya vs Goodful Side-by-Side Comparison
Takeya cold brew coffee maker vs Goodful. Two very similar brewers. The Takeya produces a better quality brew and is made in the USA.
Overall Verdict
The Takeya cold brew coffee maker and the Goodful are pretty similar. Both are tall plastic jugs for brewing in a refrigerator door. When compared for size, the Takeya is slightly taller with a more slender build. Therefore, it’s more likely to be a better fit for more types of refrigerators.
While the Takeya is made of high-grade Tritan plastic manufactured in the USA, there is little information included about the material quality of the Goodful. Apart from better build quality, the Takeya has a much more favorable brew ratio (1:9) compared to the Goodful (1:18) because it has a much longer brew core or filter.
Furthermore, even with the grounds and filter inserted, you can lie the Takeya on its side and it’s even recommended to shake the vessel a few times during brewing. The Goodful is completely spill-proof except it can only brew standing up. The two lid designs are similar except the Goodful has a somewhat clunky feel to it.
